laity stated to you that ir . case anything arose out of it, you ware to look to 17 , -. P-rthwick fc„ justification, or words to that effect. I therefore do not thin', you were justified in using my name, and drawing a contro‘r,rsy on me in reference to a subject that I am not in any stray c annected with, and was even in ignorance of till it was communicated to me by chance some time after it had taken place. I neust therefor e request you will explain to Colonel Na pier the eror you hav e comm i tted in coupling my wane with this Na pre I am, Sir, " Your obedient servant, -"L. Y. VERSTIJIIME, Capt. 11. S. " Argyle-street,,S Saturday evening, Jan. 2, 1836," Mr. Borthwick's challenge to me is founded, first, on the lan guage I used towards him in my corvespondence with Captain Verstrume; secondly, on the publication of the same langoafn the Bath Herald —namely, that with him I could have no commit- D)l.4ation, as between gentlemen, until he had purged himself by a sy,,,,,gr n t •”-nrocc f r n, tl. r stuin east upon him by the f;"?«tr d;a), • N ;.. 1-;.1 . , nk , c.

Mr. Teter B of the affrontorthwick was, which has therefore, se on tl - .e 3d of January, i n full pos aroused his c ourage , yet he nsuf fered it to consume his entrails, in silence. On the 9th of January I published my opinion of M r . B ort h w i ck in the Bath Herald. Then it would , appear that Mr. Peter Borthwick proceeded, as be says, to consult hi; friends, but it would appear also very delibe rately. since it - was only on the 12th of January, ten days after I had given hin t the affront, and three days after I had published a declarati.or_ which rendered it safe for him to show his anger, that he sent Ine his first missive of valour, by a servant. Finally, his second, challenge, though dated the 12th, was only delivered to me or; tl.ie 13th, Yesterday. * Thirdly—Air. Peter Borthwick says, that though every charge -made against him by the Guardian newspaper was proved to the letter, he would still be entitled to the privileges of a gentleman. To be proved a shameless liar, an insolvent under suspicious cir cumstances, a strolling actor, and the guilty inmate of a gaol; in fine, to be overwhelmed with infamy, under the burthen of which no man with the feelings of a gentleman could possibly live, would not, in Mr. Peter Borthwick's opinion, at all " disqualify him from meeting any gentleman on equal terms." Whether these charges can be proved or not, remains to be seen ; but they have been promulgated above fifteen months; they have been supvirted by documents, signed by many respectable persons, and Mr, Peter Borthwick has not yet disproved them. He has hi deed instituted legal proceedings against the proprietors of the Guardian, but only with relation to a part of the cha:•ges ; and so far from pressing even that part forward with the wr..rmth of an in jured man, he,:who might have brought his accuse - es to judgment ten months ago, paid certain expenses to put off the, trial, and has thus shown no anxiety to remove this intolerable load of infamy from his shoulders. It is clear, therefore, that if a canons indifference to the vilest disgrace be a disqualification, Mr, Peter Borthwick is not qualified to judge of what belongs to a so ldi er an d a gentleman ; neither is Mr. Peter Borthwick emit) ed to the usages of men of honour until he clears his character of, the stain th us cas t upon i t. When he does so, I shall be qr;,te ready to chastise him for his present in solence. WILLIAM NAPIER, Colonel. Meanwhile ',:here appeared another worthy assistant to Mr. Peter Bort%wick in this affair. Under the signature of " A Parishioner," there was published in the Bath Herald, with other extraneous and impertinent matter, a version of the con test between Colonel Napier and the gamekeeper, so shame lessly false, and so injurious to Colonel Napier, that the latter immediately commenced legal proceedings against the author, on; -Joseph Clissold Daniel of Stoke. Thus it is shown that Colonel Napier having been wantonly and anonymously assailed, has met each of his opr,onents with. a due discrimi na ti on o f t h e i r respective positiote-,. He cudgelled the gamekeeper, Nevah, who had ill used his deaf and dumb son. The slanderer, r 2ianiel, being within the reach of the law, he has prose":;uted. The slanderer, Borthwick. not being within the I "sh of the la w , nor ent i t l ed to the privileges o f a gentlemar,, he refused to fight, but pub hely exposed. A n d from Captain Verstu rme h e has obtained, in the usual mode of g ^ ..ntlemen, a sufficient explanation of his share in the transr t i on. Mr. Peter Bort'.zwick continues to publish, but Colonel Napier cannot, without degrading himself, take any more notice of his vaithings under punishment. W. N. GERMAN PAPERS. ROME, JAN. 4.—Nobody here knows anything of the dispensati on sa id to h ave b een taken to Spain by th Infant Don Sebastian for the marriage or Don Carlos with his sister-in law (the Princess of Beira), and, as we hear, no application for it has been made. The tables of births and deaths in Rome during the last year give the number of births 5,142, and that of deaths 2,977. The population is now increased to 152,457, ex clusive of strangers and Jews, so that the total number may be affirmed to be 160,000 inhabitants. The winter is very severe in all Italy, and we too have suffered from intense cold. Last night the thermometer was six degrees below Zero. Great injury has been done to the olive trees and others, and it is said that in the Alban mountains the fruit laid up in the houses is frozen. The mails are very much impeded by the snow in the north of Italy, and even in our mountains. VIENNA, JAN. 16.-5 per Cents.

ST. ALI3AN'S STEEPLE CHASE. —Eighteen occupiers of farms in the neighbourhood. of St. Alban's have published an anti sporting manifesto. The Steeple Chase to which this refers is .;-red for the 10th of March. The manager of the chase, Mr. Thomas Coleman, of St. Alban's, says, in reference to the above veto, " that he has something like twenty different lines of cou:itry offered to him by the most respectable farmers in the neighbourhood of St. Alban's, for the purposes of the chase, so that there will be no occasion for intruding upon the lands of those gentlemen who have so ungenerously shown their aver sion to that favourite pastime. t i COURSE O,F X ' CHAIsAIIF. r ESTERDAY. .. 11 7 1 4 1 Amsterdam ....... ................ 12 7 Leghorn . ~ Ditto, at sight ...: ..... :;.•..,.. yi . tt 5 Genoa „. , ...,,ite..• :• ~ t? itatterdarn.,......,..... . ral.X U. 12 7,!G Milan., • ' • 47 A ntwerp.....,..... ................. 12 7 i \ v„,,,, A i c p .... „, 4014 Hamburg ...... .... ........

That the Meeting entertains a deep feeling of sympathy with Mr Buckingham; and understanding that his Claims are shortly to be considered in Parliament, resorve that a PETITION, which the Inhabitants of Edinburgh will be invited to sign, shall forth with be presented in favour of the said claims, to both Houses of Parliament. [ 11. That Lord Glenelg be requested to present the said Petition to the . House of Lords, and Sir John Campbell, one of the Mem bers for Edinburgh, be requested to present it to the House of Commons. 111. That the following be adopted, as the said Petition : To the Lords Spiritual and Temporal (or to the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) in Par liament assembled, the Petition of Inhabitants of Edin burgh,— Humbly Sheweth :—That your Petitioners have read, in the proceedings of Parliament the following Resolutions, unani mously agreed to by a Select Committee of the House of Com mons, and, reported to that tiorlourable House on the 4th of Aure.. 4 .., 1834, viz. I rtesolved, that it appears to your Committee that Mr. Bi . ,,,kingham resided in Bengal, from the year 1818 to 1823, under a license of the Last India Company, and was engaged as principal Proprietor and Editor of the " Calcutta Journal," which was then a highly profitable concern, yielding to himself and other Proprie tors, a large annual income. 2. " Resolved, that it appeared to your Committee that in the year 1823, in the exercise of the discretion vested in the Governor- General, Mr. Buckingham was, by the Acting Governor-General, ordered to quit India within two months. 3. " Resolved, that it appeared to your Committee that after the departure of Mr. Buckingham from India, the Calcutta Jour nal was, by order of the Governor-General, altogether suppressed. 4. " Resolved, that your Committee, without impugning the motives which actuated the moottres of the Government, feel that these measures have in their consequences proved tck Mr. Bucking ham and his family penal to a degree, which could not have been contemplated at the time of their adoption. 5. " Resolved, that your Committee are therefore of opinion that compensation ought to be made to Mr. Buckingham. 6. " Resolved, that your Committee abstain from expressinc , any opinion as to the amount of compensation, in the hope that that sub ject will be taken into the favourable consideration of the East India Company ; and thus the interposition of Parliament in the next session to fix such amount be rendered unnecessary." That your. Petitioners have learned with disappointment and surprise that notwithstanding these most cogent Resolutions, the East India Company have refused the compensation declared to be due to Mr. Buckingham. That mur Petitioners consider that re fusal a deni a l o f j ust i ce, a wrong (for they are informed there is no action for it competent at law) which demands fur its remedy a direct exercise of that control over the acts of the East India Com pany which is constitutionally vested in Parliament. 'that your Petitioners cordially concur in the conclusion come to by the Legislature, and to a certain extent by the Board of Control itself, that the principles, for his advocation of which Mr. Bucking ham was banished from India, and his property and prospects in life sacrificed, and constitutionally and essentially sound, namely, Freedom of Trade, Freedom of Settlement, and Freedom of Publi cation ; all of whom now, by the list Charter for India, recognised and established as law; and they humbly maintain that, instead of patrimonial ruin and reproach, Mr. Buckingham deserves the gra titude of his country, and of India itself, for his conduct. Tour Petitioners, therefore, humbly entreat your Honourable House that you will be pleased to give your sanction to such a bill as may enable the said James Silk Buckingham to recover from the East India Company that compensation which the Select Committee of the House of Commons reported it to be their unanimous opinion that the said East India Company ought to make to him for the destruction of his property, occasioned by the measures herein before mentioned. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. N.B.—The Petition will remain for Signatures at the places following till the sitting of Parliament, viz. : Mr. Matheson's, bookseller, 39, George-street. Messrs. Alex. Cruickshanks and Sons, 57, George -street. North British Advertiser Office, North Bank-street. Patriot Office, North Bridge. Geo. Inglis and Co., 19, South Bridge. James Grinton, 52, South Bridge.

Such an attraction has seldom been offered. Ma. dame Dulcken is. sans doute a star of the first magnitude in the musical hemisphere, and as such was received and acknowledged by a numerous and fashionable audience, who were alike astonished and delighted with the united bril liancy and delicacy with which this talented artiste executed from memory the most scientifi c and delicate compositions.

Perhaps, too, the question of railways may have something to do with our more self-satisfied feelings. The public has already done us the justice to recognise us as the first, and in fact the only London Journal, in which such modes of locomotion have been always recommended as indispensable to the preservation of the commercial importance of the British Isles. There is no vain-glory in making this declaration, for it is a meed of approbation for which we have long laboured; and Ortit is more to the purpose, at a time when Railway projectors were the scorn of the mightiest of our Contemporaries. Of the importance of the subject of this Meeting we have already spoken. It is unquestionably one—to adopt the language of the first resolution—which, on the score of interest and duty, doubly claims the attention of the British Government. The completion of a line of communication which will bring, so to speak, Dublin within a distance of twelve hours of Lon don, will have precisely the same effect, as if under the mail-coach conveyance system, Ireland were transplant ed into the centre of Great. Britain. Dublin will be to London then, what Birmingham is now ; so that there will be as little cause, with respect to distance, for a repeal of the Union between Ireland and England, as there is now between England and Wales. And with the increased proximity of Ireland and England, will necessarily follow the amalgamation of the tastes, the feelings, and the habits of the two ' countries. England will come to see the policy of conciliating the Irish in the same way as she has done with regard to the Scotch. Certain manufactures, certain natural productions, and certain habits of the country, will become popular ; and in return Ireland will, in token of gratitude and good feeling, introduce and foster among her peasantry habits now considered exclusively English, but which in tim e will form a bond of mutual good fellowship. It is only in this way that abuses can be effectually eradicated— that defects of education can be cured—that low vulgar prejudices can be totally obliterated from the public mind—and that different races speaking the same lan guage, but differing in matters of faith, may be brought to blend and harmonize together as members of the same body politic, possessing a community of noble and vital interests. The only disappointment we experienced in pe rusing the report of the Meeting in Dublin, presided over by the Right 'Honourable the LORD MAYOR, and attended by many of the most influential public men in Ireland, was in finding no direct allusion made to the scheme of the British and American Intercourse Company, whose prospectus for carrying a Railway from Dublin to Birturbuy Bay, on the coast of Galway—and so facilitating the communication be tween the British Isles and ,the United States—has already appeared in our columns. The Meeting, no doubt, was fearful of embarrassing itself by grasping at more than it could conveniently attain ; and, perhaps, were we acquainted with its motives, we should be the first to approve of its for bearance. Nevertheless, the last-mentioned project is in some sort necessary to the completion 'of the first. The internal trade of Ireland is in a wretched condition—the peasantry have nothing to do, but what they detest doing—namely, tilling scraps of ground for the benefit of the parson and the landlord. The moping lethargy in which they may be said to exist rather than to live, is only to be dissipated by the prospect of employment which shall remunerate them for their toil, and the fruits of which they shall be allowed to enjoy without an apprehension of the malign power of their oppressors. Ireland is a mine of wealth. The New World never offered half the temptations to the money-loving adventurer which Ireland does to the industry and the enterprise of the British capitalist. As to the national jealousy of the Irish—that is an idle bugbear, only fit to frighten children. All the Irish are jealous about is their religion, and the means of living by their honest industry. Convince them that the first will not be in ~ why, it must be a killed."' o.ood Heavensare we • • :t , to be deprived, at a period like the presen t ;ihe services of one of our most efficient Reformers, merely b ec dum,hi ) parne6tness, his sincerity, and his tran- Plcell4tit New. tle nqt happen to tic rnood odour with beftaiii iiitefeted; etittftigYs ? pcissilile I Who *ds tile iiidst Micee§stili adifdedie of Ministers last Sessibii Lofd HAN! i Who' e9siiied the pagSiiig tii thb Mihlidipdl Ali ill the Hoilse bf Peel's i3tit3bdtbiNi Whd ever fcirerlidst at his post- . -4eddiest dt fi_TistL—:iriogi triumphadt iii attack-=•diost digeniods iri ciefedce Lord littBiidliA4 Whd gi'eticed the sneers= partied the aro;dnients—add tad l 8 ditird4 the sophistries of LYNDHURST ?

Even though he himself may repudiate all ideas of office, still the country has a right to avail itself of every opportunity of demanding his assistance.

We will return to this subject the mo ment further communications, which are to be sent to us from Dublin, shall have reached us. In the mean time we invite attention to the Resolutions which were passed at the Public Meeting held in Dublin on Saturday, of which copies are given in our advertising columns. • Our Tory Contemporary, the Times, is perfectly frantic on the subject of DANIEL O'CONNELL, as will be seen by the following undeniable specimens of monomania which we quote from its leading article of this morning :—" As Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL draws near to London, every post brings with it proofs and harbingers of the coining pestilence."—"He is the most deceitful, the most treacherous, the most vindictive, the most selfish, and the most dastardly of the human race. A lie is his favourite expedient !" This is pretty well; but it is a mere nothing compared to the description of the same individual which occurs in the letter signed " Runnymede." " The mighty dragon," (DANIEL to wit) says the author of this refined epis tolary effusion, "is again abroad, depopulating our fields, wasting our pleasant places, poisoning our foun tains, menacing our civilization. To-day he gorges on Liverpool, to-morrow he riots at Birmingham—as he advances nearer the metropolis, terror and disgust pro portionately increase. Already we hear his bellow, more awful than hywnas—already our atmosphere is tainted with the venomous expirations of his malignant lungs ; yet a little while and his incendiary crest will flame on our horizon ; and we shall mark the horrors of his insatiable jaws, and the scaly volume of his atrocious tail I" The reflections which this striking description awaken in our breasts, are dishearten ing in the exrerne. What is to become of us all, in the event of this ferocious dragon flying straight to London, and banging his " atrocious tail" right and left against all the public edifices of the metropolis ? Is St. Paul's proof against such a bom bardment ? Is Regent-street ensured ? Have the Houses of Lords and Commons been duly shored up ? We ask these questions from no impertinent curiosity, but in the bitter anguish of our hearts ; for though we would fain hope the best, we cannot but anticipate the worst. But even suppose that by the aid of the firemen, and the household troops, backed by possees, without number, of special constables—to say nothing of the support we may reasonably look for from the valor of Runnymede, ST. GEORGE D'ISRAELI, Esq.—sup pose that by all this united help, we succeed in clipping the wings and docking the tail of this horrid dragon, who, and what, is to save us from the " pesti lence" of his breath ? We may guard against the cholera ; but how are we to guard against an unpre cedented infection of this kind? It may be conta gious—or it may be epidemic—or it may be both ; but at all events, the public cannot do wrong in adopt ing every precaution against it. Let cannons then he fired every half hour in the streets to purify the air ; let the public hospitals be put into a state of prepara tion ; camphor-bags be distributed gratis to all who choose to apply; and messengers, duly perfumed with tobacco smoke, be dispatched to give us the earliest in formation of the approach of this " Derrynane pesti lence," as our contemporary the Times so happily de signates it. By adopting these timely precautions we may perhaps contrive to escape the visitation with which an offended Providence now threatens us, in the person of DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq. ! The Reformers of Great Britain—and more espe cially the Municipal Reformers—are making great sa crifices for the support of the good cause in which they are embarked. In several municipalities the new corporate bodies have made provisions for the establishment of a liberal Press, as soon as the Government shall have decided upon the abolition, or even the reduction, of the stamp duties. Nor are the Tories idle in their en deavours to paralyze the efforts of the Liberals throughout the country. They have entered into joint-stock associations for the support of Tory prints, in the vain expectation that they will be able to in fluence the opinion of the people of England. In another part of The Sun of this day will be found an article from our able provincial Contemporary, the Lincoln Gazette, detailing the efforts of the To ries to triumph over the public-spirited population of that intelligent county, by establishing a new Tory Jour nal on the shareholding —or, in other words, the self-sale able system. The end of such efforts is obvious. The people will not read Tory papers, and the Tories will soon find that other uses may be made of money, be sides squandering it away uselessly in a bad cause. Men soon lose relish for unprofitable apostacy.. Our Correspondent " MENTOR" has addressed to us a second letter on the subject of " Lord BROUGHAM and Law Reform," which will be found under that head in another part of to-day's Sun. In this tem perate and well-digested communication, he points out the peculiar merits of his Lordship as a purifier of the Augean stables of the law—a somewhat superfluous, however well-intentioned, task; for as the countryman in one of ?ESOP's best fables says, " Praise HER CULES, indeed—who ever thought of praising him ?" So may we say of Lord BROUGHAM. HC needs no commendation by way of encouragement. His claims on the gratitude of his countrymen are admitted by even his bitterest enemies, and he can afford therefore to In amother part of our paper will be found an adver- tisement referring to a Meeting lately held at Edin burgh, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S claim to compen sation, for the unprecedented injuries which he suffered some years ago, from the agents of the East India Company. We are glad to perceive that the public feeling so powerfully awakened in England—where more than one hundred of the principal cities and towns have prepared petitions on this subject to be presented to the. House of Commons—has extended to Scotland, and that Edinburgh, as in duty bound, has taken the lead, in a cause which comes recommended by the clearest and most obvious principles of justice. We say n othing of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S eminent public services—we keep entirely out of view the fact that his persevering exertions in opening the eyes of the nation, and particularly of the commercial part of the commu nity, to the great advantages of a free trade with the East, mainly contributed to the breaking up of the mo nopoly so long enjoyed by the East India Company, to the prejudice of the national interests—we put all these i m portant considerations entirely out of the question, and rest Mr. BUCKINGHANI'S claim on the broad and sacred principle of justice. We hesitate not to say that n ever was there a more wanton, or more flagrant violation of - this principle, than that which was committed towards this gentleman by the Govern ment of India. What are the facts of this atrocious case ? Simply these :—Mr. BUCKINGHAM, residing in Calcutta, under the sanction of a licence from the East India Company, establishes a newspaper at a great expense, which he conducts with so much credit, that it acquires an extensive circulation, and a strong hold on the public opinion in the Indian capital. So , dispense with the language of eulogium. Nevertheless, we may still be permitted to inquire by what strange accident it is, that he does not occupy a distinguished position in the present Cabinet ? It cannot be that he is too liberal. It cannot be that he is too much the reverse. It cannot be that he is liked by the Tories; still less that he is deemed incompetent by the Whigs. To what, then, is owing his exclusion ? This is a question that the country has good tight to ask; and if we mistake not, it is one to which it will expect to receive a prompt and satisfactory reply. That his Majesty's Ministers appreciate the inestimable value of Lord BROUGHAM'S services, we firmly believe; no difficulty would exist there : the difficulty, we suspect, lies in a far different quarter. His Lordship is a stern Reformer : he is also known to be as active and intelligent, as lie is conscientious, in the prosecution of his remedial measures. He will hear of no compromise with intolerance. He will enter into no convenient alliance with corruption. Hence he is more dreaded by the Tories than perhaps any man that ever existed ; and the Tories are still far— far too powerful at Court. But if this be the cause of Lord BROUGHAM'S present exclusion, sure we are that it is one which must ere long be removed. Back stairs influence must not be permitted to stand between the people and their best interests. The snake must be " scotched;" and if scotching will not answer the purpose, IQble ;1~~ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1836. We have great pleasure in stating, that there is no truth whatever in the several paragraphs which have recently appeared in the daily Papers, respecting Lord BROUGHAM'S health. Neither is it correct, that his Lordship " had arrived in town a few days ago, but was ordered into the country by his medical adviser." What may have been the motive for circu lating such reports we do not pretend to say : but one thing is certain, that Lord BROUGHAM has not been in London since his return from Petersham, on his way to the North, whither his Lordship had gone for many years to spend the Christmas holidays with his revered mother at Brougham Castle. It is true that Lord BROUGHAM'S health has lately suffered from his intense application to study, and his medical friend therefore advised him to give a little repose to the exertion of those splendid faculties, which had been actually overworked by doing so much in the service of his country. His re turn to London may be shortly expected with renewed health and strength. We regret to announce the death of the venerable and patriotic. Lord HOOD, of Whitley Abbey, Coven. try. His Lordship is succeeded in his title and estate by Capt. Hoon, his eldest grandson. His Lordship was a real Reformer.. We have much pleasure in referring to the proceed ings of the great Meeting held in Dublin on Saturday last, for the purpose of considering the expediency of facilitating the communication between the capitals of England and Ireland, by means of a railroad from London to Portdynllaen, and a line of steam-packets from that harbour to Kingstown near Dublin. We are delighted to witness and to record those ef forts to advance the well-being 'of a country, in the presence of which faction hides her head, and in whieh political opponents are found side by side, emu lating each other in the laudable struggles of advancing, the common weal—of propellinc, the crenius of na 6 ttonal improvement. There is something which invariably commands our respect in a project which bring such men as Mr. SIIAW, the Recorder of Dublin, and Mr. OCoNNE L 1., the " .t.'-gi tator," into immediate and friendly comr:xoication, w ith a mutually full a n d entire forget" m,r o f e ,iessti . hatreds and collisions of faction, of , ? .e hostilities -4: m'u'ch is it fespect4 bath for the talent with which it is ofa pri n'c i pie s icfr' it a(ltce cite s, and the kieCE;s4 had ; attcrided its eftorts; that rany of the principal 61 / Catcutta bee'ame partner* with the original proprietor.

BUCKING HAM made a few remarks, couched in the most rrifide rate language, pointing out the incongruity of the pastoral office with the duties of the appointment alluded to, and a day or two after received an order from the In dian Government to quit India in two months ! ! ! Not satisfied with this, the Council next proceeded to suppress Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S Journal entirely, and thus effectually confiscated a property from which he was drawing a revenue of between 6,000/. and 8,000/. per annum, and which was far from overrated at 40,0001. This is a brief statement of the main facts ; and we ask if ever there was tt case more im periously calling for redress ? No defence is pre tended to be set up—no one presumes to say that what was done was right—the whole of the proceed ings are resolved into the power vested in the Indian Government I No law, it is said, was violated, as if the great and universal law of equity went for nothing ! We shall only add, that Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S claim to compensation was sanctioned last Session by the unanimous decision of a Parliamentary Committee appointed to investigate the matter—that a Bill for carrying the recommendation of the Committee into effect was brought into the House of Commons, and read a first and second time, and would have passed but for a point of form which had been omitted. This was towards the end of the Session, when it was too late to introduce a new Bill. The application will be renewed in the Session about to commence, and we trust it will be seconded by the hearty exertions of thoss both in and out of Parliament who are inimical to the exercise of arbitrary and unbridled power, and who believe that the liberty of the Press—now happily esta blished in India, where the good seed sown by Mr. BUCKINGHAM has sprung up and flourishes—is one of the greatest blessings that any nation can enjoy. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Monday. We were right in our anticipations yester day, respecting the Carlist account of the result of the engagements of the 16th and 17th inst., of which an official notice appeared in the Moniteur of Sunday. The Carlist General EGUIA has officially communi cated the details of these engagements to the Pre tender's Minister of War, by which we learn that Ge nerals EVANS and CORDOVA, at the head of 2,000 men, fled like wild harts upon the mountains, as soon as the sacred oriflamme of Don CARLOS was un furled. This happened on the first day, when the Christinos were the aggressors. On the 17th, the troops of his most puissant Majesty the King of ONA TE were the assailants ; but as the battle had not concluded before the despatches were made up, a little mystery hangs over the events of the evening of that day, which will be dissipated a 3 soon as the Onate correspondent of the Herald finds an opportunity to chronicle his reveries on what might have been the result of these sanguinary engagements. But our readers must not feel alarmed for the cause of the QUEEN and Constitution. The victory claimed by the Carlists is a fiction from first to last. There was a skirmish on each of the days mentioned, and on both the Carlists were beaten. The party headed by Con- DO VA and EVANS amounted to little more than a fraction of the troops stated by the Cailist General, and moreover were only engaged in a reconnoitring expedition. . The only articles of moment in the French journals relate to the recent trial of the prisoners, and the con duct and designs of Russia. The Debats considers that the trials have been of immense service to the Government, because they have proved to France that there is a power in the country—a recognised judicial power—superior to the laws ! What would Eng- lishmen say were we to comfort them by such an as surance with respect to Great Britain ? PARIS, JAN. 25.—Don Carlos has ordered the forma tion of a Foreign Legion, composed of deserters from the British Legion and from that of Algiers. It is said that there are already 240 men as a nucleus. The news of the taking of Guetaria has been circulated ; but letters of a later date from the environs make no men tion of it. A letter from the banks of the Bidassoa of the 18th says, that the authorities of Irun had hindered for the last two days any person from passing through that town for France. On the 12th of this month the Carlist Generals of Na varre and the three Biscayan provinces received 22,000 uniforms for their battalions. The last official Gazette of the Carli3ts contains the fol lowing decree of Don Carlos : " His Najesty has been informed that the re i s i n F rance a great number of fugitives belonging to the provinces of Navarre and Biscay, who, after having se rve d i n t h e ranks of the rebels, have become sensible how cr i m i na l t h ey were in taking up arms against their legitimate Sovereign, and who now desire to return to their homes. " His Majesty has, in consequence, granted pardon to all those who, whether they have served as Peseteros, Chapel gorris, Flanguadores, Chasseurs, or under any other deno mination, shall, within fifteen days from this date, present themselves before any lawful authority. There will be no exception, but in the case of those who may be accused of some crime besides that of having leant their aid to the rebellion. " As there are also, in several parts of France, deserters from the cause of loyalty, his Majesty has been pleased to grant the same pardon to all who, within the same time, shall present themselves to the CoMmandant of their pro vince ; fathers are, however, warned that if they do not do all in their power to recal the deserters, they will suffer such punishment as his Majesty shall be pleased to inflict on them. " Given at the Royal Palace at Onate, the 9th January, 836." General Alava will only take the place of the Duke de Frias at Paris for a short time ; be will soon return to Lon don, where he is still accredited as Ambassador.

CITY, T IVEL V E O'CLOCK Launceston papers have been received at the North an South American Coffee Hove to the 11th Sept. We extra cV the following from the Australian of the ith of that month " The public will have seen from the Report of the Caw mittee of the Legislative Council, appointed to take into consideration the memorial of the merchants and shipowner° of Sydney, respecting port dues and pilotage, that the Cora' mittee were of opinion that the trade with Van Dierne o Land should not be put on the same footing with the coasting trade, or the trade with any other place having a separate Government, such as the Mauritius, &c. This appears to be just and reasonable. They have, however, recommended that vessels constantly trading betw een N ew S ou th W a les arir, Van Diemen's Land should be exempt e d f rom pil o t age , whie' was the chief subject of complaint in the mem or i a l, on the very proper ground that the masters were in consequence 0 well acquainted with the navigation of the ports, as to r ender that assistance perfectly unnecessary. This will be a veil f great burthen reriumeLl from that trade ; for the charge pilotage in and out is 41. 10s. for vessels of 90 tons, and thes e vessels make, perhaps, ten or twelve trips a year. There; no doubt that the Government of Van Diemen's Land effect the same desirable improvement.

Good beef could not be obtained at le s : than 6d. per lb. ; wheat was up Ms. per bushel ; and fre e butter 2s. 6d. and 3s. per lb. The epidemic among the sheep was spreading its fatal ravages in all directions, and mai° ad' the most wealthy stock-owners tremble for the result.
